Is there any algorithm for identifying the noise in an image I have to identify whether the noise present in a mammogram image is guassian or salt& pepper.

Exploit the fact that salt&pepper noise has only 2 values and median filter does excellent job in getting rid of it.
- Filter your image with median filter
- Find pixels where median filter did most of its job
- Plot histogram of those pixels
Compute fraction of 0s and 1s
threshold = 0.2; % adjust to perform best on your images im = imread('../lena.bmp'); imd = double(im); imd = imd./max(max(imd)); imdg = imnoise(imd,'gaussian'); imdsp = imnoise(imd,'salt & pepper'); subplot(2,2,1), imshow(imdg) subplot(2,2,2), imshow(imdsp) imdgf = medfilt2(imdg); imdspf = medfilt2(imdsp); g = imdg.-imdgf; sp = imdsp.-imdspf; gm = abs(g)>threshold; spm = abs(sp)>threshold; subplot(2,2,3), hist(imdg(gm)) subplot(2,2,4), hist(imdsp(spm)) waitforbuttonpress
